long text incoming! but yes, that's my entry for the contest! a little more than just a random oc, so buckle up because I have a lot to talk about this little guy!

first of all, this is 100% inspired by some of my friends! I am part of a fan project of a rpg campain called "ordem paranormal" (lit paranormal art, I've posted one fanart about it here once) where we subtitle it in both PTBR and ENG and I've became really close to the small group who I've been working with, and not long ago they joked about making a cult/new religion and, well. I took the idea and ran with it. almost literally

blue: always knew it oh master of the diamond cult

me: (talking abt the game we were having) DIAMOND CULT HELP

blue: LOL long live king tutu

me: WAIT you just gave me an idea. there's an art jam happening on newgrounds about the lamb cult game, and it's to make an cult oc

blue: hmmmm make a cult of the team

red: the diamondettes

blue: cult of the nerd diamond emos

red: *the diamonds

blue: cult of rihanna

me: [pastes the rules of the jam] THAT'S IT I'M MAKING A CULT OF THE DIAMOND FUCK IT

blue: OR cult of the docs

me: then I'll mention it's because of you in the description

blue: so many great ideas

me: yes

blue: the workaholic cult who loves docs

me: praise our diamond shaped docs

so here is why everyone are cats and also why there's diamonds and the google docs symbol around. another thing to mention is the long pants of the leader but it's too much of an inside joke to properly explain

the symbols on the screen are actually related to the campain, they're called sigils of the other side and the fanmade font can be found here. not only it's in portuguese, but it's inside jokes so I won't bother translating it all, but I had to do it to add an extra flavour of the origin of the group circle (the damned rpg campain)

another thing worth mentioning but not related to the group, is that this was the first time I painted in greyscale and tried caring for the tones and all, then added the colour later which was just a single colour either way so. yeah, that was an interesting approach because I'm used to not care about the values at all and just bother about how the colours look besides that. so yeah lol here are alt vers

without colours

green (because that's my group's colour)

I think the drawing is kinda. eh but I am quite proud of it so fuck it, take it and I hope yall like it! also the group I've been mentioning all this time is equipe t, despite most tweets being in portuguese, they have tweets in english about the project and the rpg campain as well so, if you're interested about it, give it a go!!!
